Oscar Wilde said, “The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.”
National Volunteer Recognition Month is observed in April. With a weeklong celebration on April 20-26. Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley is truly grateful for the 80 volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to the meaningful work of our agency. JFS has two dozen volunteer opportunities from teen stocking, to helping in the Community Food Pantry, to being a ShareCare driver who brings older adults to medical and various appointments.
Volunteer Coordinator Jennifer Oxfeld works with each volunteer to discuss their interests and find the right fit that will ensure
their time with JFS feels worthwhile. Jen recognizes, “Volunteers give over 2000 hours per year collectively, which means the seeds of kindness planted by volunteers are truly helping our programs grow.”
JFS hosted an ice cream social to celebrate the volunteers who are truly the community at heart. Email volunteer@ jfslv.org to start your journey as a JFS volunteer.
